Is Globalstar (GSAT) stock Halal?
Globalstar, Inc. (GSAT) is Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening, passing all four AAOIFI screens. Dividends are purified using a factor of 100%. Tabadulat re-screens GSAT monthly, and the status can change when new financial data arrives.
Globalstar is a next-generation international telecommunications infrastructure provider specializing in satellite and terrestrial connectivity solutions. Leveraging a proprietary low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation and exclusive licensed mid-band spectrum (Band 53 and Band n53), the company delivers reliable, secure voice, data, and asset tracking services globally. Its offerings support a broad range of critical applications, including emergency communications, Internet of Things (IoT) deployments, private wireless networks, and commercial IoT hardware and software products. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Globalstar stock Halal?
Is Globalstar Shariah compliant?
For a communications operator like Globalstar, AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 has little quarrel with the service itself; the scrutiny falls on how the network is financed. Towers, spectrum and satellites are typically funded with debt, which the standard tolerates only below 30% of market capitalisation, a ratio that moves with the share price.
Does Globalstar pass the business activity test?
Yes. In the September 2026 screening Globalstar holds an overall PASS, which a stock only earns when its core business clears the activity screen. The service itself, carrying calls and data, raises no Shariah objection; the scrutiny belongs to the debt financed network behind it.
Is Globalstar's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Globalstar's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening, and the small impure portion is handled through purification: the factor of 100% tells holders of GSAT what share of each dividend to keep and what remainder to donate to charity.
Does Globalstar meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Yes. Both caps hold this month: interest bearing investments and interest bearing debt each stay below 30% of market capitalisation. Because the caps move with the share price, our Shariah Supervisory Board has GSAT re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
